Biography
Robert Jefferson was born in New York City, New York, United States in 1961, and he served as Secretary of Security Enforcement for the city of New York during the 1990s and 2000s. Jefferson's job was to fight against terrorism and organized crime, enforcing the law in the city; however, he was sympathetic to the American Mafia, claiming that Italian mobsters knew their limits, and he befriended mob boss Jon Gravelli. In 2008, years after he left office, he was invited to come down to New York City from Upstate to deliver a speech on the threat posed to American society by Eastern European organized crime, specifically the powerful Russian Mafia. He took the train to the Grand Central Terminal of Manhattan, and he was to be driven to the Civic Center in a convoy of government vehicles; Gravelli hired Serbian immigrant criminal Niko Bellic to drive Jefferson's car. The motorcade was ambushed by Faustin crime family hitmen after it halted at some roadblocks on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and Bellic saved Jefferson by gunning down all of the Russian mobsters before they could harm Jefferson. Bellic then drove Jefferson to city hall, shaking off pursuing Russian mobsters along the way. Jefferson thanked Bellic, and he proceeded to bravely deliver his speech. Rather than deliver a xenophobic rant, he praised hard-working immigrants, including the "nameless man" who ensured that he could deliver his speech. The Mayor's office proceeded to allocate more of its budget to fighting organized crime in the city.
